Wow. It's just dawned on me that this evening seven years ago, Andres and I were scrambling around like crazy in our old London flat still emptying the place and getting ready for one of the most important and impactful adventures of our lives. Andres was still putting my bike together and we were getting ready to set off the next morning for our 6 month cycling and volunteering trip all around the British Isles!! Seems like yesterday and at the same time, a lifetime ago.
So much has changed. We relocated and settled in Canada, Andres started and closed two businesses, we bought the land of our dreams, started developing it completely from the ground up, got a dog, lived in Toronto, then Hamilton, then Bancroft, then Toronto, then who cares, I've lost count. Oh ya and we had two kids, among other things....
I mentioned in the last post that I'd summarize a little timeline but I'm too tired for that right now. I will one day. For now, I'll tell you that we are living full-time in Toronto as we have been for the past couple of years and we go to visit our property and do what we can, when we can. If someone had told me seven years ago that this is where we'd be and how far along we'd be with our project, I would've put a fist to his face and said - No way man! We're gonna do it and we're gonna do it fast and with no money!! Hahahaha And then life happens... oh well. I assure you - we have not lost our spunk. We've just got wiser spunk now :)
Anyway, I leave you with a link to our 2012 UK cycling adventure Youtube video! Enjoy my super high tech CGI editing skills. I think I'll watch it now and shed a tear or two with a wee glass of Grouse.
Good night all.
